Macao scooterites win Interport Sugar Ray

HK TEAM BEATEN FOR

FIRST TIME

TIME IN FOUR SUCCESSIVE SEASONS

By OLLY VAS

The Macao scooterites, ably led by tennis star Antonio de Assis Fong, a last-minute entrant, won the 'Piaggio' Interport Cup in the Fourth Annual Interport between Macao and Hong- kong, held at theé 28 de Maio Stadium in Miacao over the Whitsun holidays.

The twelve-strong Macao contingent put up some brilliant per- formances against the 22 Hongkong riders to triumph by an overall total of 153 points to Hongkong's 142.

Their victory is à particular to steer their way through a ly memorable one because the Cup had been won by Hong- kong for three successive sea- sons and this was Maceo's maiden win.

Only two Hongkong ladies took part in the Interport: Miss Ding had a good outing and when the points were added up, after making allowances for the ushal penalties, it was found that she had beaten many of her fellow male riders.

Miss Fern Horn, taking part, her first Interport, was visibly nervous. We take off our hats to her for her, extreme beeness. Individually Macao's ong was the winner with 53 points, HK's DeLange and Gold- berg were runners-up with 40 and 43 respectively,

The crowd got a few laughs off some of the pillions who lost their balance on the way to the machines. One passenger could not shake off a clinging sack and one Macao lady-pillion even sat on the tail-lights!

The third event proved hard for many of the teams. The strong winds blowing all over the field upset the timing of the pillions with the pointed lance. Four balloons went tied to poles. The pillion riders each had to pick up a lance stuck on the ground and while the

driver manoeuvred his machine the passenger had to take stabs at the balloons to burst them. Fong and his pillion did it in 35 seconds and team- niate Lo Chi-kok registered an identical time while HK's De- Lange could only record 39 seconds.

The famed Bengal Lancers could have taken a tip or two from some of the pillfons. Two young ladies even steadied the balloons with one hand while pricking them with the lance held in the other hand. There

is nothing in the rules anyway to say one cannot do this!
